November 20, 2011Monsieur Pierre BruttinLa Premier PresidentTRIBUNAL D’ARRONDISSEMENTDE LAUSANNEPalais de Justice de Montbenon1014 LausanneDear Premier President Bruttin : N/ref: PBR/llaAffaire: Leo Emil Wanta, 7 July 1993Thank you for your kind response to my inquiry dated 21 October 2011. A copy of your letter is enclosed. You must get many such requests for information and I appreciateyour thoughtfulness.Though the photocopy of the judgment rendered by the correctional tribunal of Lausannedated 17 November 2000 is very much appreciated, my primary questions gounanswered.1.What court transcripts/records are available from Ambassador Wanta’soriginal arrest date of 7 July 1993 and from his incarceration in a Suisse prison from 7July 1993 until 17 November 1993? Surely court documents prior to 2000 – seven years beyond the date of Ambassador Wanta’s arrest – are available that show the reason theSuisse government confined an American citizen to a jail cell for over four months.Surely charges were filed and court action was taken at the time to justify such a seriousaction. Where can I find the court records from 1993, please?Since Judge Allyne Ross immediately dismissed all charges againstAmbassador Wanta when he appeared in the Federal District Court in Brooklyn, NewYork, on 19 November 1993 (Switzerland returned Ambassador Wanta on Swiss Air Flight #51, he appeared in Judge Ross’s Court on November 17, 1993 and all chargesagainst him were dropped on November 19, 1993 – I have copies of the New York CourtDockets regarding this matter). And, since Ambassador Wanta’s entry back into theUnited States shows his Diplomatic Passport was used by Customs for re-entry into thecountry, he obviously was who he said he was: the Ambassador to Switzerland and toCanada for Somalia. The authorities in Lausanne had to have access to his Diplomatic
Passport or he would not have had it available to re-enter the United States. Leo EmilWanta’s Ambassadorial Investiture was attended (and witnessed) by the Foreign Minister of France, the Honorable Alain Juppe… a former Mayor of Paris. Thus, questions ariseas to the legitimacy of the imprisonment of Ambassador Wanta in Lausanne… of why theSuisse Government would imprison someone with Diplomatic Immunity in violation of the various international agreements known as the Vienna Convention.Please understand my problem, Monsieur. I have in my possessiondocuments that make it clear the Leo Emil Wanta was appointed to be Ambassador toSwitzerland from Somalia. I have a copy of his Diplomatic Passport. There are picturesof his Investiture attended by the honorable Alain Juppe… and the Surete in Lausannesimply decides it disagrees with those facts, it believes or thinks or “in its opinion” thisman has a mental problem and, even though he has a mental problem they still think he isa highly skilled money launderer? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?It also appears the Suisse government has a conflict of interest in theWanta case. Bank records exist showing the Ambassador had on deposit with CreditSuisse a large sum of money – well into the billions of U.S. dollars. Those funds werenever returned to him or to the United States Government or to the State of Wisconsin,USA. The money just… disappeared. As I said in my first letter to Judge Antenen(which was forwarded to Judge Jean Trecanni, then to you, Premier President Bruttin), Iwant to be fair to the Suisse government as I write Ambassador Wanta’s biography. Todo that, I need factual information, not assumptions and opinions of guilt as expressed inthe Tribunal Decision you provided.The Tribunal Decision is an interesting document filled with highlyquestionable comments for a legal document; the following come from just the first two pages of the 20 page document:
Tribunal:
(The Accused) does not appear, although duly summoned by edictale (FAO) to 8:00;
Response:
How can this be since Ambassador Wanta was in prison inthe State of Oklahoma (I have confirmed this with two trips to North Fork Prison inSayre, Oklahoma). To where was the “Summons” sent? Why were the avocats whowere paid a very high fee in July 1993 to serve in Ambassador Wanta’s defense not “dulysummoned” to offer evidence in defense of this man?
Tribunal:
Leo Emil Wanta has no criminal records in Switzerland.However, the accused was convicted in the United States by Judgment of 20 November 1995, sentenced to eight years in prison for tax evasion. Records in Austria were alsoinvestigated for credit card fraud.
Response:
Leo Emil Wanta WAS NOT convicted on 20 November 1995; he was convicted on 11 May 1995. He was SENTENCED on 20 November 1995.These kinds of errors are… unique in legal court documents. And why in a TribunalDecision was an investigation involving credit card fraud in Austria mentioned when,obviously, nothing was found. Had it been, charges would have been filed against him.
A cancelled check proving that Ambassador Wanta paid the Wisconsin taxes in 1992,three years before his Wisconsin trial, is enclosed. It’s interesting that the Suisse Courtsuses information from what we, in America, call a “Kangaroo Court” – a dishonest court – to justify its arrest of him, and the Wisconsin Court uses information from the SuisseCourt to justify suggesting Ambassador Wanta was not of sound mind – an allegation proven to be totally false via numerous mental examinations before trial. This is of particular interest since the primary witness against Ambassador Wanta at his Wisconsintrial, a Department of Revenue Agent named Dennis Ullman who presented himself as alawyer (see letter addressing him as “Dennis Ullman, Esq.”) trial visited Switzerland andAustria to see if there was any evidence available to use in the Wisconsin trial. As thecourt transcripts of that trial prove, no evidence from Switzerland or Austria was presented against Ambassador Wanta.
Tribunal:
Leo Emil Wanta and BLANK NAME arrived inSwitzerland at the beginning of June 1993.
Response:
If that is true, please explain the copy of an encloseddocument showing Wanta’s Suisse bank accounts as early as April of 1993. Pleaseexplain the numerous references made to Suisse bank accounts established prior to 1993as recorded in the book, Thieves’ World. This is an obvious error or lie.It appears very coincidental that the Suisse Government inLausanne decided to send Ambassador Wanta back to New York City on November 17,1993, and the date of the Tribunal Decision is November 17, 2000 – exactly seven (7)years after his return to the United States by the Suisse government. What is the Statuteof Limitations for whatever charges were brought against Ambassador Wanta on 7 July1993 – and what charges were brought that warranted a 4 month and 10 daysincarceration?
Tribunal:
In view of Leo Emil Wanta’s declarations and numerousletters on file, including 75 pieces addressed to the FBI, the Court ASKS WHETHER THE IMAGINATION of the accused is of a con man or that of a pathological liar. Thereporting process for tax evasion due to “delirium” statements reported made about theaccused, he was subjected to psychiatric evaluations that concluded his mental health is atquestion.
Response:
Ambassador Wanta is one of the most brilliant intelligenceoperatives that ever served the United States of America… and the authorities inLausanne independently decided he is mentally ill. Documents from the Ronald ReaganLibrary which verify Wanta’s government service as he explained it to the Suisse Sureteon 7 July 1993 when they arrested him are enclosed. As documented in the book Thieves’ World (Claire Sterling, Simon & Schuster, 1994 – six years before this TribunalDecision was handed down), Leo Emil Wanta was “… the one who mattered” (in bringing down the Soviet ruble). Page 194 on which Sterling made that statement isenclosed.Ambassador Wanta carried a blue nylon bag with him atthe time he was arrested in Lausanne. It contained numerous Secret and TopSecret documents… the Surete had the time, motive and opportunity to search the
